Strategy, Nerve and Liberty.

Some time later we were transferred to
Point Lookout prison, Maryland Among
our number was young man named
Hunter, of Washington, ID. c. During
his imprisonment he had been furnished
with complete wardrobe, far more COM
| plete than any Confederate soldier dared
dream OF. On the eve Of departure he
was dressed in "nobby" business suit,
looking as unlike soldier of any kind as
could be. The prisoners were gathered
together in the quadrangle of the prison
and as each name was called the man
passed through the Office out to the pave
ment and formed in column between the
lines of guards. When Hunters name
was called he came out enyel)ped in his
blanket, his hat knocked awry and car
rying his valise Those who had seen
how jauntily he looked in the yard hard
ly recognized this figure that shuffled,
with its shambling gait, out to the pave
ment, nor did they understand why he
had made such guy Of himself The
prisoners talked and laughed gaily among
themselves
No one noticed Hunter lay aside his
blanket and "spruce" himself up. Ask
ing comrade to look after his blanket
and valise, and to make no remark on
anythingihe might see. Hunter moved to
the curbstone side of the column. Tn
noticed by the guards ne stepped beyond
the curbing and faced around, looking
nonchalantly at the prisoners while leis-
urely lighting cigar. One of the guards
noticed the distinguished looking indi-
vidual and brought his musket down to
Il charge bayonets,' remarking
It's against orders, sir, for any one to
come on this side eofthe street"
Hunter coolly said, while putting his
cigar:
"Oh, I'd like to get good look at these
id rebels"
The guard repeated
It's against orders, sir, and you'll have
to cross the street"
"All right said Hunter, not wishing
to prolong the conversation, and sumter
ed across the street-turning occasionally
to look at the prisoners-where, leaning
against tree box, he watched the John
nies with as much curiosity as any one
there When the column moved Off the
cheer that went up from the COnfeder-
ates was thought by the lookers-on to be
the escape of pent-up feelings of prisoners
at being let out into the open air, when
in reality it was the farewell outburst of
for their comrade left standing
there, who by his strategy and nerve had
won for himself freer air than they
breathed.
Hunter spent several days in Washing
ton, then started for Dixie, but was cap
tured at Bowling Green, Va, not as an
escaped prisoner, but as one who couldn't
give clear account of himself His cap
tors halted for the night ON the way to
taking refuge in an old
abandoned house, with one of those large
stone chimneys so common IN Virginia
rhe windows being all boarded up, and
,ne of the guards lying against the door,
hey thought that sufficient to hold
ancy little blockade runner" therefore
relaxed their vigilance so much as to
,leep. A little fire, smoke and SCOT were
light impediments to a man like the
prisoner. He rawled up the chimney.
iropped down on the outside, and the
prisons knew him no more.-Fhiiadelph'a

An lmplacable Father.


Around Kazeroon are many beautiful
orange gardens, and in one of these
short time before my gisit, occurred a
tragedy which will bring home to my
readers the state Of the criminal law Of
Persia. Two Villagers quarreled, and one
of them, in the heat of the moment,
smote the other on the head with his
spade. There was no homieidal inten-
ton, but the injured man died. The
Koran claims an eye for an eye and a
tooth for tooth, and the Koran Is the
penal code as well as the Bible Of an or
thodox Moslem State; but blood money
may be, and almost always is accepted
as satisfaction by the relations of the de
ceased The father Of this villager, how
ever declined to receive money, and in
sisted on the offenders death. The gov
ernor, in doubt, referred the case 10 his
superior at Shiraz, who, after the usual
reference to the Mollahs for high priests
replied that the law of God must be car
ried into effect This somewhat oracular
answer left matters, as was doubtless the
still in the hands of the gov
ernor, and be, to get out of the difficulty.
gave his executiOners a holiday, and told
the father Of the deceased that in their
absence he could not carry the law into
effect. The father replied that this was
no obstacle, for he himself would carry
out the law. He hal thrice refused treble
the legal blood money, and should his
sons murderer go free?
After this there was nothing more to be
sand. The unfortunate homicide. with
the fatalsmof SIussulman. sat down be-
meath an orange tree and smoked his
last pipe, while his enemy brought two
farrashes of the governor to dig his
grave On their arrival the victim put
away his pipe, and sat still while the IA
ther Of the man he slew in the heat OF
passion judicially cut his throat.
4 horrible story that / would not be-
Iieve, but that | had it from sources that
left no doubt of its truth. In the terri
tories of the great Mussulman power such
IN occurrence would be impossible. A
more reforming and less fanatical spirit
has largely modified the criminal law Of
The Koran in the Ottoman Empire, while
The civil law, as therein administered, is
IS complex and procrastinating a system
As civilization can devise.-Haemillan'

How a Village War Arose.


fheard strange story yesterday II
seems that family living in Suburban
town, being about TO goaway for a month
and wishing TO pat their silver where 1t
would be secure from burglars, obtained
permission 10 store il in closet adjoin-
ing the library Of a neighbor's house
The neigbbor's family consisted Of
himself, several children, ineIusiing one
son who had the reputation Of being
fast youth, and three or four servants.
In due time the owner Of the silver re-
turned. and, sending for the box contain
ing it, prepared the tableifor supper, and
found to their surprise and horror that
small tea service was missing.
The situation was delicate one. and
the matter was broken gently 10 the Gus
todian Of the silver Inquiries were set
on foot, questions were asked Of the ser
wants in the neighbor's house, ineautious
remarks were made by the owners Of the
silver it seemed clear that it had been
stolen, and suspicion was east upon al
most everybody in the house whence it
had been taken.
Finally the servants became incensed
at what they asserted to be insulting in
vestigations, and they left the house in
body.
Very shortly after il began to be whis-
pered around that the dissipated son was
the guilty person. This coming 70 the
ears of the frher led 10 violent words
and the suspension of all intercourse be
tween the two families. The gossips in
the town talked Of nothing else. Every
body took sides. The MATES got into
the church which both parties attended
and, in short, the entire community was
On the verge Of civil war, when, in a
moment, the missing silver
was discovered in drawer, where it had
been put away with great care some
months before by the mistress Of the
house The affair was thus explained.
but wounds that viii require years to
heal have been inf1icted.-B0sfon Posf

How
Your Liver?

Is the Oriental salutation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bowels
are sluggish and constipated,
the food lies in the stomach
undigested, poisoning the
blood frequent headache
ensures; a feeling of lassi-
tude, dependency and ner-
vousness indicate how the
whole system is deranged.
Simmons Liver Regulator
has been the means of re-
storing more people to
health and happiness by Civ
ing them a healthy Liver
than any agency known on
earth. Ii acts with extraor-
dinary power and efficacy.
